Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated by the bundled version import). It provides a flexible interface to perform various operations on multiple resources within the Ajax ecosystem. Specifically, for the "Access Control" resource and the "Get Entity Info" operation, the node retrieves detailed information about a particular entity associated with access control, such as permissions or user-related access data.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching detailed access control entity information for auditing or monitoring purposes.
  • Integrating access control data into workflows that require validation of user permissions or entity states.
  • Automating security checks or reporting based on real-time access control data.

Practical example:

  • A workflow that triggers when a user attempts to access a secured area could use this node to fetch the entity info related to that user and hub, then decide whether to grant or deny access based on the retrieved data.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user whose access control entity information is requested.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub associated with the access control entity.
Entity Id The unique identifier of the specific access control entity to retrieve information about.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified access control entity. This typically includes properties related to the entity's configuration, status, permissions, and any other metadata provided by the Ajax API for that entity.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent related files or attachments linked to the entity, but based on the static analysis, the primary output is structured JSON data describing the entity.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response-operation resolution and execution logic.
  • Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
  • The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n to function correctly.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the API key credential for the Ajax API is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid or missing input parameters: The User Id, Hub Id, and Entity Id are required. Missing or incorrect values will likely cause errors or empty responses.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect endpoint configurations can lead to request failures.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API changes or returns unexpected data structures, the node might fail to parse the response correctly.

Common error messages may include authentication failures, resource not found errors (if the entity does not exist), or validation errors for missing parameters. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, checking parameter correctness, and ensuring the target entity exists in the Ajax system.
